Why do you want to relace the door lock relays?Are the door lock actuators always staying on?

Its probably not the relays it most likely one of the door lock switches doing it.Is your drivers door lock cylinder on the outside of the door in the 12 oclock position?If so start by umplugging the drivers door inside door lock switch see if the locks stop running.If they dont unplug the passenger front door lock switch on the inside see if the locks stop.Let me know what you find.

Do I need to remove the inside door panels in order to access the door lock switches?

No a small pocket flat blade screwdriver at the top of the switch will release it so you can take the switch out.Let me know what you find.
